Why Retail Investors Are Betting On SpaceX’s Massive IPO

A year after Meta’s $14.3 billion bet on Alexandr Wang, the company finally has its first proprietary AI model, but remains behind OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. High-profile hires from rival labs made headlines, but so did layoffs, key departures, and a year of widespread internal conflict and low morale. With Meta’s stock down 19%, the pressure is now on Wang and Zuckerberg to prove the bet was worth it. CNBC’s Julia Boorstin explores what Meta is up against as it attempts to generate real revenue beyond ads.

SpaceX IPO: Here’s What Retail Investors Need To Know

source

Despite a massive slowdown in EV adoption, Ford Motor is continuing to move forward with its next generation of EVs. Ford’s continued confidence, albeit at lower and slower rate than it previously projected, comes from its “Universal Electric Vehicle,” or UEV platform, which the company has developed from a clean-sheet design. Ford’s goal for UEV is to be profitable and cost-competitive with global EV leaders from China and Tesla. The UEV is expected to be critical to Ford transforming its Model e EV unit from billions of dollars in annual losses to breakeven by 2029. The company has said its future EVs will be profitable within a year of launching. The first planned product based on the UEV is a roughly $30,000 midsize pickup truck for the U.S. market next year, followed by a family of vehicles underpinned by the platform.
